3" scl alum. PRR keystone whistle, ring, and flanger posts.

[PRR5406]

Odd Duck Foundry is currently casting PRR keystone whistle posts, keystone ring posts, and triangular flanger posts, in 3" scale for live steam/live Diesel hobbyists. They are cast in recovered aluminum, measure approximately 4" tall, and can be purchased as flat plaques or with a mounting post on the back (allowing for 5/8" pipe insertion), as the prototype. They are clean castings, unpainted, and clean up with a file.




Flat plaques are $10 each, with post mounts, $12 each. You can order multiples of each design (ex: three whistle posts) , or specific combinations (ex: one of each design). (Paypal accepted) (5% tax applicable in Maine).

If you order, please specify flat or pole mount, which type and how many desired.
Other PRR style signs are in development, including "No Trespassing on Bridge", "Slow", and oval signs. All are limited to 3" scale for live steam.

Just some follow up photos.

My friend, Peter is at work filling orders for 3" scale keystone whistle posts. Peter owns the "Odd Duck Foundry" in Maine, and has started casting aluminum miniatures for the live steam hobby. Yesterday I went over to record the whole process, while he casts four of the popular Pennsy designed sign for a client.

With the post mounting back, he sells the signs for $12 each. Just a flat sign is $10.

I thought live steamers might be interested.
